Mobile Welding and Fabrication

Metal fabrication and welding are two closely related processes that are used for manufacturing, construction, and engineering – among other things – but it’s important to remember that they’re distinct from one another. At Mobile Welding Stratford, we have considerable experience with both mobile welding and fabrication services, so whether you need one or the other, we’re going to be able to assist you. The experienced welding and fabrication professionals in our ranks are always happy to help with any service request that comes our way – and you can expect consistently high quality from us, regardless of the exact nature of your request. Below, you can gain further insights into the mobile welding and fabrication services we offer, as well as the benefits of using our services more generally. If you need further details or have any questions that need answering, our customer service team is always available to provide clarity.

Understanding Fabrication

Before we get onto welding, let’s first look at fabrication. What exactly is it, and how does it work? Put simply, fabrication is the creation or modification of an object. With metal fabrication, these procedures usually involve cutting, bending, and assembling – and sometimes welding as well. Generally speaking, fabrication is used to create machines, structures, or components from raw materials – so it’s an extremely diverse and variable procedure. As you might expect, we have spent many years helping our customers across the Stratford area with fabrication projects.

Understanding Welding

So, you know what fabrication is, but what is welding? And how do they relate to one another? Welding is where multiple materials are joined together through the process of melting. While processes like soldering and brazing use an additional material to do the joining, welding uses the base material instead – alongside a filler material that adds further structural strength and stability to the joint. This is distinct from fabrication, though there are specific circumstances where welding is required as part of the fabrication process. In that sense, welding can be part of the fabrication process, but fabrication is never part of the welding process.

Safety First

When it comes to welding materials, it’s critical to remember that these are dangerous processes. The temperatures required to successfully weld materials can reach in excess of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit – and that’s just with arc welding. You don’t need to be a professional to realise that there’s serious potential for injury or incident when you’re working with such scorching temperatures, so safety matters a great deal. We’ll make sure that we carry out our work in a safety-conscious manner at all times. That means you, your property, and our team won’t come to any harm.

Access and Availability

The most significant advantage of using a mobile welding and fabrication service is that you’re able to get access to the services you need at a time and place that is most convenient for you. It’s far easier to arrange an appointment with a service provider when you don’t even need to leave your property, that much is for sure.
